The former Czechoslovakia also embraced the new fashion.

This large theater was used in professional representations to a wider audience and that the family had a rather complex lighting system that unfortunately has been lost. This tradition is still valid today: the Czech puppets are the most prized in the world thanks to the traditional expertise and dedication of its artisans.

Includes a decorated wooden racks with three levels that create a compelling sense of depth, the puppets of the image belong to the story of Snow White and the seven dwarfs.
